Clearly a basic work, a reference point for further development and correction. Concise presentation, with the fascist period as strongest part. The post-war period has a strong interpretive emphasis, with a particularly weak ending (everything seemed good in 1982). The focus is on the economic development, with a rather conservative slant (pro free market, very critical versus trade unions).
